Alchemy, Alchemical measure

Solid weight: three scruples make a dram.

From the book

In the apothecaries' weight for solids, three scruples make one dram, so a dram holds sixty grains. The solid scale runs from grains to scruples, drams, ounces and pounds.

These measures, and the signs that go with them, are offered to add color to a campaign and to explain how alchemists weigh and measure their ingredients.
